THE LOSS OF THE VERNON.
Stone, the Only Survivor. Says the Vernon
Was Loaded Foot Deeper than Usual.

GREEN BAY, Wis, Nov. 2.-Axel Stone, the
sole survivor of the Vernon wreck, said last
night that when the Vernon left Frankfort, at
o'clock last Friday evening, her cargo consisted
of apples, fish, potatoes, pgron and slaves, and
tae load was unusually heavy, the boat being
loaded about one foot deeper than usual and the
deck being only about, six inches above water.
After leaving Frankfort the weather was fine,
and continued SO until between 9 and 10, when
gale from the northwest set in. Stone says he
was watch till midnight The sea rose rap
idly and the boat labored heavily, although she
seemed, while he deck, TO steer pretty
well. Her excessive load between decks pre-
At the ganeways the deck only
about one and one-hslf inches above water on
the starboard side, and six inches on the port
side. She rolled good deal until about A. NJ,
and the water was washing through the gang
ways. Before that hour there was at one time
considerable water in the hold, which they
pumped out with a syphon, and supposed every
thing was all right. Stone says that before he
went off watch he ventured to suggest 20 the
captain that some lading be thrown off, so that
the gangwavs could be closed. but that the latter
refused to do SO, and said that he was running
that boat. He also says he asked the mate why
they did not turn around and put back. He says
that after the wreck. and while on a raft. one OF
the fremen told him that one of the fires was
put out at o'clock Between and o'clock he
was awakened by a crushing sound and the
noise of trying to get boats from the deck. He
felt the steamer was laundering, and, putting
life preserver. sprang through a window OF
the room into the water.

The Butter and Egg Convention.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Nov. 2.-The second days ses-
sion of the National Butter and Egg conven-
ton at Manchester, was largely attended, many
local darymen being present. In the morning
various subjects were discussed and the after
noon meeting was largely devoted to the
siderstion of oeomargarine Addresses
made by delegates from Chicago, New
York, New Hampshire and other cities
and States. Resolutions were adopted calling
the attention of the Secretary of the Treasury
to the necessity Of the proper enforcement of
the nleomarearine law by the revenue officers;
also, asking Congress for an appropriation to in
sure its enforcement. Another resolution
adopted was one urging States. which have not
already passed laws prohibiting the manufacture
of oleomargarine, to Go at the earliest pos
sible time. The Iowa association presented
resolutions reciting that Revenue Commissioner
Miller pronounces the oleomargarine law inop-
erative and will recommend it's repeal, and re-
solving that if the law is imperative it is be-
cause Of Mr. Millers lukewarmness and refusal
to enforce it; that no one will receive votes
for executive, congressional or other Office
who is not squarely opposed to fraud against the
dairy interests that there should be
sufficient tax on the sale of oleomargarine to
create fund to enforce the law against the
fraud; that the funds derived from the tax and
from fines should be used in enforcing the law;
that it is deemed necessary that Congress should
pass a law providing for this use of the money
The resolutions were referred to a committee to
report tomorrow. The committees then tested

A Rabbits Two Widows.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Nov. 2--Durine the past
summer Rabbi Wolf Weinstein. of the Hebrew
Synagogue, died in this city after lingering
illness, leaving widow in humble circum
stances, who hoped to receive substantial bene-
fits from life policy OF So, 600 issued by the
Royal Arcanum Rabbi Wenstein was a mem

which place the necessary proofs of death were
sent.
Not hearing from the officers of the Charlottes-
vile lodge the friends of the widow bestirred
themselves in her behalf A few days ago a
woman accompanied by two daughters appeared
upon the scene and laid claim to Rabbi Vein
STEMS insurance. She says she is the lawful
widow of Rev. Wolf Weinstein, and her home
St Louis. She says that they separated tenn
porarily, her husband going East to minister to
a congregation. The woman manifested great
surprise when told that the Rabbits widow
sided in this city, and had already fled her
claims to the insurance money.
The friends of the Harrisburg Mrs. Weinstein
claim that the ST. Louis woman is the divorced
wife of the Rabbi. and consequently can claim
part or share OF the money in question. The
principal question will be to prove that the late
Rabbi Weinstein was a divorced man.

Nineteen Bodies Recovered.

MILWAUKEE,, Nov. 2-Five fishing tugs went
out from Two Rivers, Wis, to- day, and brought
back the bodies of seventeen men and two
women. who had been aboard the foundered
propeller Vernon, making twenty-five bodies
that have been recovered. The engine house at
Two Rivers was turned into q morgue, where
the remains were stretched SIDE by side to en-
able iden LITIGATION by the relatives and friends
who f1ocked here from Manitowoc. The faces
were all placid and in good condition, except
two, whose expressions gave evidences of in
tense suffering. All were clothed fully except two
women. who were without head-wear and shoes,
but were otherwise fully attired. Their long
hair was dishevelled and matted but their faces
were not disfgured, and they looked enough
alike to be sisters They wore skirts OF bro
caded pattern, and there was nothing about
them that enabled>iden LITIGATION. The first body
recognized was that of Fred Burke, Of the
half owner of the Northern Michigan line. As
the father eaZed upon the features OF his dead
son in the improvised moreue he gave way to
his emotions and sobbed aloud, while the other
searchers for beloved ones stood in silent sym
pathy. Only seven of the bodies were Identified.
They
George Thorpe of Ogdensburg, N Y, captain
of the Vernon; John Sullivan, Chicago, first
mate; Larry Higgins, Chicago, second mate;
Martin Lebeau. Chicago, steward; Henry Lee
clerk: Roy Hazelton, Chicago, cabin boy; +. b.
Bortand, Milwaukee, passenger.
In the pocket of the coat worn by one of the
unidentified dead was letter postmarked Port
Washington, and addressed to Adolph Hazel
brath. Milwaukee. There is little doubt that
the man is the person addressed. There is
nothing ABOUT the others that will enable
Identification unless viewed by acquain-
tances. Several undoubtedly deck
hands, picked mp at various ports. The
bodies were found about eight miles east of Two
Rivers. Five floating together. The
others were scattered, but not far distant. Sew
eral appeared to have made q desperate struggle
for life by means of life-preservers until the
jackets became saturated and rendered
useless The life-preservers were, in some
instances, too large, and slipped mp to the heads
of the unfortunates and they were found thus
in perpendicular position in the water. The
tugs report having two-masted vessel
picking up bodies, and it is expected further
reports will be received when this and other
vessels that may have CHANGED to pick up the
flosters reach their destination.
A bunch of letters was found on the body of
Captain Thorpe, but they will not be opened
till the inquest. His watch stopped at 555, and
it was undoubtedly at this hour Saturday morn
ing that the propeller went to the bottom.

WHITE GIRLS SOLD.
A Drunken Father Barriers His Daughters for
Means WhereWith to Buy Whisky.

OTTAWA Ont, Nov. 2-While Victoria
Sound. the west coast of Vancouver island,
recently, the captain and crew were surprised to
see two white girls running towards the vessel,
closely pursued by three four Indians.
Reaching the side of the vessel the girls sprang
on board almost exhausted, and begged the cap
tain to protect them from their pursuers. The
the deck of the schooner demanded the girls as
their property. but the captain refused to give
the girls up. After parleyng with the captain
for a short time they took their departure only
to return, largely reinforced. The captain
then surrendered the girls for fear of his
life It has since been learned from the
government of British Columbia which
is to demand the release of the girls, that they
are daughters of VIM. Thompson formerly of
Victoria. who, with his wife and four daughters.
moved to San Juan. on the West coast three
years ago, and took MP his home near an Indian
camp. Since that time until now nothing had
been heard of them. After moving to San
Juan the father became dissipated and all he
earned went for the purchase of liquor. When
he could longer obtain money or liquor he
sold his eldest daughter to q wealthy Chlnaman,
to whom, it is said. she was married at the
point of the revolver. His wife died of broken
heart, and in one of his revelries at tho Indian
camp. it is alleged, be agreed to barter two of
his daughters for few blankets, clothing and
whisky. The bargain made, aud, for the
purpose of carrying it out. Thompson's hut was
visited the following night by few Indians.
who easily carried away their helpless victims.
Since their captivity the girls have been sub
jected to the most brutal treatment. A
younger sister, only eight years old, was sold to
another tribe of Indians. The lighthouse
keeper Race Rocks light has. within few
DAYS. seen a young girl in a canoe, padded by
Indians. Pass the light house.

The Measurement of Gas.

70 the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
1t is a surprising fact that in all the talk about
natural gas in Indianapolis, specific terms
have been agreed regards the pressure I'M
der which gas is to be sold to the consumer.
Gas Is an elastic fluid, indefinitely eompressible.
Mariotts law, which governs this matter, is this:
'"The volume of a gas is inversely the pres
sure.n Under this law, if the rock pressure is
200 pounds the square inch. and the pressure
at he metre is ten pounds, which is high
p ressure be conveniently used in burn
ing, then / 600 cubic feet of gas at the we'll by
the reduced pressure, becomes 20 900 feet at the
metre. The amount of gas is not increased by
the reduced pressure, but merely the volume is
expanded We burn our illuminating gas under
about two ponds pressure In the laboratory,
with Bunson burner, find five pounds as high
q pressure as is profitable. But FIVE pounds will
make 1000 cubic feet at the well 40, 600 cubic
feet at the metre. Under what pressure shall gas
be measured2 R. T. BROWN.

Natural Gas at NATION.

Special to the IndianaDOIis Journas.
NATION, ILL.,, Nov. 2-Another strong flow
OF natural gas has just been found near this
city. In boring in the bottom of his waterless
fifteen foot well Matthew Wilson struck gas at
depth of sixty feet from the surface, and the
flame burns constantly fifteen feet above the
mouth of the well. This we'll is on the
farm adjoining that of William Champion,
who has lighted and heated his house since 1871
with natural gas found in digging a well. The
company prospecting for in this city are
down over one thousand feet with the drill, and
work is progressing steadily. James Cunning
ham, who found a strong vein of gas on his farm
few miles southeast of this city, is preparing
to pipe it into his residence for domestic use.

Delivery of Pipe at NoblesvilIe.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NoBLEsvILLE, Nov. 2-The pipe for the trunk
line to be constructed by the Standard Oil Com
pany from this city to Indianapolis is being de-
livered, and is to be shipped at the rate of
mile per day until the whole supply is delivered.
The trunk line is to be laid of twelveinch pipe
instead of sixteen-iuch, previously stated.
The right-of-way has been procured the full dis
lance. so there will be no delay that account.
Forty tons of lead have been purchased by the
company with which to close the fitting at the
joints The joints closely fitted
that it requires the combined strength of
twenty with the best appliance that
can be had to properly tighten the joint. The
force to be employed on the pipe line will con-
sst of men, teams, tools and machinery sufficient
to put the line down at the rate of mile day,
and they are going ahead regardless of the Con-
sumers' Gas Trust or any and all other organi-
cations; Indianapolis may expect gas in the
near future. Gas lands along the line of the
pipe will be greatly benefited by being near the
main line-for the reason that lateral lines cost
at least 81 900 per mile, that it will cost ST.,
Coo more to get the gas into the main line from
a we'll being two miles from the line than it will
that of a well within one mile. land will command
q higher rental thereby, and to that extent at
least it might prove a benefit to have the main
line pass over or near lands with underlying gas.

Granting thas gas will soon De in the city, and
that there will be big demand for plumbing,
James Murray. of Bradford, Pa, who is here in
that business says it will take five years to pipe
all the houses here The average cost OF piping
the houses he estimates at $40, but it the work
is complicated. it will be greater. PLUMBING for
natural-gas means great care, to prevent
any possible chance of leakage. There has been
fuel gas in Bradford for ten years past, and
many of the houses not yet piped. but this
this is due TO the uncertain supply the
city had for number of years
until it was received from the
Standards wells twenty-five miles away. The
frat supply was from wells three miles from the
city, and the next group of wells was nine miles
distant, but both groups were exhausted within
four years During the winter the gas flow
would at times cease altogether until the Stan
dard system guaranteed never-failing supply.
1t was not until few months ago that compe-
ting company came into Bradford. Before that
the prices were three times those at which the
Indianapolis company proposed to supply the
consumers in this CITY.
